A public space was created for art, sport, culture and environmental eventsÂ over a 200-metre segment, from Man Wa Lane to Morris Street in Sheung Wan. This was possible thanks to a temporary traffic arrangement by the Hong Kong Transport Department.

Originally, the plan was to pedestrianiseÂ a larger space, stretching 1.4 kilometres from Pedder Street in the core of Central. However, the area for Very DVRC was greatly reduced because the Hong Kong Police was concerned about public safety, due to the use of trams. Very DVRC hopes to resolve this issue in the future.

This artist’s rendition was part of a 2014 proposal on how Des Voeux Road Central could be reimagined.
